Spain’s government has said it fears battle-hardened Islamist fighters may return to Spain from Syria and other conflict zones under the influence of Al-Qaeda-inspired groups, presenting a threat of attacks.

The latest strike by Spanish security forces is the third significant raid on jihadist recruitment cells announced in as many months.

On May 30, security forces arrested six suspects in Melilla, one of two Spanish-governed cities along with Ceuta on the northern Morocco coast.

Spain accused the network of recruiting and sending out jihadists to join “terrorist organizations” based in Mali and Libya.

Lahcen Ikassriensued the Ministry of Justice and demanded 784,367 euros in damages for the four years of stay in Gitmo and the 374 days of detention suffered in Spain once delivered, tried and acquitted.
